The Spin
Democratic narrative
Sadly, these transfers are just part of the transphobic measures that transgender people are facing under the Trump administration. Being transferred to a male prison would violate the prisoners' constitutional protections against cruel and unusual punishment and put them at risk of physical and sexual violence. The courts must protect them.
Republican narrative
Trump campaigned on a message of protecting women from the radical left's attempt to make them insignificant. The people elected him to enact the type of policies that would keep biological men out of women's prisons. Although Democrats are intent on tying up these actions in the courts, eventually biological women will be safer.
